Summary:
    A brief, intense workout may do more than boost fitness—it could help fight cancer. Researchers found that just 10 minutes of hard exercise releases molecules into the bloodstream that switch on DNA repair and shut down cancer growth signals. When these molecules were applied to bowel cancer cells, hundreds of cancer-related genes changed activity. The discovery helps explain how exercise lowers cancer risk and hints at future therapies inspired by movement.

Finally got a chance to read the article. With my various aches and pains, I haven't gotten enough exercise in recent months, but I see it might be possible to do 10 minutes vigorously, if I put my mind to it. I knew that elliptical in the basement was good for something!
